Chapter 5

One hour later, everyone arrived at Chen Ping’s house.

Li Yonghao firmly slapped the search warrant on the door, took a step back, and raised his chin. “Knock on the door. If it doesn’t open after three times, kick it in.”

After a moment, a police officer found a pressure cooker in the kitchen with its lid open.

The smell was emanating from the pot. This police officer was probably just out of college, a young and inexperienced youth. He leaned over to take a look, only to see half a pot of water in the pressure cooker, with some minced meat and floating oil and a few unidentified strands of hair on the water surface. The young officer was dumbfounded, unable to immediately realise what it was. So, wearing gloves, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the pressure cooker, intending to pick it up and examine it as evidence.

At that moment, the young officer holding the pot heard the voice of another colleague from the bathroom. “Hey, Li, come and see this. There are two knives here, a kitchen knife and a bone-chopping cleaver. The whole room is covered in blood… Ah! And there’s a child’s clothing!”

The young officer felt that something was wrong. Then suddenly, he understood what was going on. His hand holding the handle of the pressure cooker began to tremble violently, his pupils contracted, and he forcefully threw the pressure cooker back onto the stove. The liquid inside the pot accidentally splashed onto the back of his hand, and the young man, with a pale face, stared at his gloved hand stained with filth before vomiting.

Li Yonghao heard the commotion but didn’t know what was happening. However, he instinctively started to feel a chill down his spine, so he loudly asked, “Xiao Song, what’s going on? What’s the situation?”

Lu Yi put on shoe covers and walked quickly into the bathroom. He saw blood stains all over the floor. The bathroom tiles looked like an ancient slaughterhouse, hastily washed after slaughtering animals, with bloodwater carrying a strong stench covering the entire tiled floor.

Two knives were casually thrown on the ground, and there was a purplish-red object in the drain, apparently some kind of organ fragment.

On top of the washing machine, however, there was a neatly folded set of children’s clothes, which looked a bit strange. In the midst of the chaotic scene and the blood-soaked floor, the clothes were clean and seemed completely out of place.

Lu Yi, wearing gloves, unfolded the neatly folded clothes and pointed to the navy blue little jacket, asking Li Yonghao, “If I remember correctly, both the parents and the eyewitness mentioned that the missing boy was wearing this outfit when he disappeared, right?”

Li Yonghao felt that he didn’t want to hear him continue anymore.

Lu Yi sighed, “I think you should have this place sealed off. There has just been a case of dismemberment and mutilation here. Stop searching for the child and focus on capturing Chen Ping.”

Li Yonghao took a sharp breath, unbelievably turning to look at the kitchen.

“That’s the smell of human flesh forcefully cooked and not properly dealt with in the pressure cooker,” Lu Yi said. “I once had the opportunity to be at the scene when apprehending a cannibal, and smelling it once is unforgettable for a lifetime.”

Impatiently waving his hand, Li Yonghao asked, “Where could Chen Ping be?”

Lu Yi turned to him and asked, “Has the liquid in the pot cooled down?”

Li Yonghao found himself feeling nauseous from what he was being told. He covered his mouth with his hand and his stomach churned with acid for a while. After managing to suppress it, he walked into the kitchen with a grim expression, staring at his subordinates who had vomited their guts out. “Pathetic! Clean up quickly!”

The liquid remaining in the pressure cooker still had some warmth, indicating that the person had left not too long ago.
